For Black Friday 2026, pick the Air Jordan 1 height first: High for the original look, Mid for a lower collar, Low for easy everyday wear. Then check the listing says new, shows the real pair and box, and names the same model as the maker’s page. Part of the Jordan Brand guide.
High, Mid or Low
The Air Jordan 1 was made for Michael Jordan in 1984 and reached the public on April 1, 1985. Today it is sold in three heights, and the choice mostly comes down to where and how you will wear it.
| Height | Look | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| High | Collar sits above the ankle, closest to the original | Jeans, cooler weather |
| Mid | Lower collar, same overall styling | A compromise on both |
| Low | Cut below the ankle | Shorts, summer, light socks |
Names matter here. A listing titled “Air Jordan 1 Low” and one titled “Air Jordan 1 Retro High” are different shoes, so read the full title, not just the colorway.

Sizing notes
Sneaker sizing differs between models and between men’s, women’s and kids’ scales. Check which scale the seller uses, and look for a size chart in the description. If you already own a pair, compare the size printed inside the tongue label with the one on the listing instead of guessing.
The Air Jordan 4 has a different shape, so a size that suits one model may not carry across. The Air Jordan 4 page covers that comparison.
How to check a listing is genuine
Popular sneakers are copied, and the safest approach is to slow down:
- Filter to condition “new” and look for sealed or boxed pairs with the label visible.
- Prefer listings with photos of the actual pair, from several angles, not only stock images.
- Compare the shape, stitching and label printing with the maker’s product page.
- Check seller feedback and make sure a returns policy is stated.
- Confirm the style name and colorway in the title match the box label in the photos.
If a detail looks different from the maker’s page, skip that listing and move to the next. Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday follows on November 30.
